I sincerely doubt the nose theory for one reason:
every intelligent species that does sex play that I ever heard of
"mixes it up" with nurturing behavior.
Before there was Gerber's processed baby food mothers chewed their
food for their babies and directly put it into the babies' mouths. The infant
toungue thrust is a classic sign of being ready to try solid food -- I've seen
it on every infant moving to solid food I've ever seen. The baby will stick
out her tongue and lean back her head to ask for a taste of watever mom
is eating. Classic "french kiss" behavior, in the purely innocent
"Hungry! Feed-me!" baby precurser.
hoping I didn't gross out the non-parents,
